*PX 522 is available in orange ( PX 522HT OE Part B) and in red (PX 522HT RD Part B) Vacuum Casting Processing Conditions • Use in a vacuum casting machine. • Heat the mould at 70°C (preferably polyaddition silicon mould). • Heat both parts at 20°C in case of storage at a lower temperature. • Weigh part A in the upper cup (do not forget to allow for residual cup waste). • Weigh part B in the lower cup (mixing cup). • After degasing for 10 minutes under vacuum pour part A in part B and mix for 1 minute 30 to 2 minutes. • Cast in the silicone mould, previously heated at 70°C. • Put in an oven at 70°C minimum. • Demould after 45 minutes at 70°C. • Carry out the following thermal treatment : 3 hr at 70°C + 2 hr at 80°C and 2hr at 100°C. • Always while curing, place the part on stand. Handling Precautions Normal health and safety precautions should be observed when handling these products : • ensure good ventilation • wear gloves and safety glasses For further information, please consult the product safety data sheet.
